Two installation options for TigerVNC:
The [WayBack] TigerVNC viewer gives a bit more details on failing VNC connections than the stock OSX Screen Sharing.app does: after performing the logon, the connection would just stall, but TigerVNC would should “write broken pipe (32)” after the logon. Most of the linked search results indicated the VNC server was having a state problem.
So I restarted the VNC server, after which connections could be made again in both tools.
I actually prefer the stock Screen Sharing.app as:
open vnc://192.168.178.55:5900 if your VNC server is listening on 192.168.178.55:5900TIL that Apple’s “Screen Sharing” app is command-line accessible.
ssh username@hostname -L5910:localhost:5900open
vnc://username:password@localhost:5910

Somehow I managed to get a OnePlus phone to have the read data limit line stuck at ~5 gigabyte whereas the warning was at ~15 gigabyte.
This caused all sorts of havoc when I passed the 5 gigabyte mark: cellular data would turn off, I would get all sorts of warnings and – worst of all – I could not reset the red line.
The solution was at [WayBack] Unable to remove “Cellular data limit exceeded” notification even after changing the data limit on OnePlus 2’s OOS 3.5.5:
There are numerous discussions offering a solution to this:
- Goto
Settings>Backup & reset>Network settings reset.- Now select the affected SIM card
- Now click
Reset Settings.
